HIGHLIGHT

PRAY FOR GOOD FORTUNE

In contrast to today's fashion of slimness, plumpness used to be regarded as an ideal of feminine beauty in some periods of Chinese history, particularly in the Tang dynasty (618-907). Inspired by this, Chinese artist Huang Wei designed an image of a Chinese female with a fairly plump fi gure and a charmingly innocent look, who is devoutly praying with folded hands. The designer and her team have turned the portrait into figurines using materials like plaster, clay and cement, which are intended to be thought-provoking. The gesture of praying with clasped hands, a ritual of Buddhism, is intended to bring good luck and success. The works, given the name of Charm - Oriental Female, are to be exhibited in Hangzhou in March.

祈愿美好

不同于喜歡骨感美的現代人，東方女性在古代以雍容豐腴為美。中國藝術家黃薇設計的媚寶寶，是一個形態圓潤的東方寶貝，小妞以虔誠之態雙手合十，憨態可掬。設計者通過石膏、陶瓷、水泥、油泥等不同的材質，讓媚寶寶給予大家更多的思考。雙手合十這一姿態則寓意著吉祥與順利，體現東方精神。媚·東方之妞將于3月在杭州展出。
